HC Deb 08 February 1932 vol 261 c512W
Mr. FLANAGAN

asked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether his attention has been called to the boycott of German goods in Finland in consequence of the increase of duties by Germany against Finnish goods and, in particular, butter; and what steps he proposes to take to bring to the notice of British exporters the potential market now at their disposal in Finland in consequence of this boycott?

Major COLVILLE

I have been informed of the increase of duties imposed by Germany, but have no official confirmation regarding the boycott of German goods in Finland. In reply to the second part of the question, the Department of Overseas Trade is impressing the importance of the Finnish market upon United Kingdom exporters.
